### Installation

{% hint style="info" %}
**ℹ️ Note**\
These instructions assume you have a working FiveM server that you can already connect to.\
For help setting up a FiveM server, see: [FiveM Server Setup Guide](https://docs.fivem.net/docs/server-manual/setting-up-a-server/)
{% endhint %}

1. Locate the `resources` folder in your FiveM server installation (same directory as `server.cfg`).
2. Download the product from your [FiveM Keymaster](https://portal.cfx.re/assets) if you haven't already.
3. Extract the ZIP archive contents into the `resources` folder.
4. You should now have a folder named `LGMods_Sandy_UK` containing the files listed above.

{% hint style="info" %}
**ℹ️ Important**\
If you see an extra nested folder inside `LGMods_Sandy_UK`, move all contents up one level so the listed files/folders are directly inside `LGMods_Sandy_UK`. Otherwise the resource won't load properly.
{% endhint %}

5. Open your `server.cfg` file and add the following line below your other `ensure` lines:

```lua
ensure LGMods_Sandy_UK
```

Example:

```lua
ensure chat
ensure spawnmanager
ensure sessionmanager
ensure basic-gamemode
ensure hardcap

ensure LGMods_Sandy_UK
```

6. **Restart** your server. (MLO resources like this usually don't load correctly with the `start` command on a running server — a full restart is required.)

{% hint style="info" %}
**ℹ️ Streaming Note**\
When players first approach the location, FiveM streams the assets to their client. Depending on internet speed, some parts may take a few moments to fully appear. Be patient during initial load.
{% endhint %}

### Configuration

All editable settings are in **`config.lua`**. **Do not** edit any other files.

#### ESX / QBCore Whitelisting Settings

The framework and allowed jobs for gate access are configured here. Change `Config.Framework` to match your server (only if the framework is installed).

```lua
Config = {}
Config.Framework = "standalone"

Config.AllowedJobs = {
    "police",
    "sheriff",
    "ambulance"
}
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
ESX and QBCore are third party resources and are not included with this LGMods product, and we are unable to assist with their setup.

Only enable these options **if you have the framework installed**. Doing so without the framework being installed correctly is likely to cause errors with this script. Otherwise pick standalone.

Be careful to ensure each entry within the jobs array has apostrophes around the job role and a comma is placed after them, with exception to the last entry.
{% endhint %}

#### Front Gate / Side Gate Settings

```lua
Config.ShowPrompt = true

Config.Commands = {
    OpenGate = "opengate",
    ResetAlarm = "resetalarm"
}

Config.GateCode = {
    Required = true,
    Code = "1234"
}
```

* Set `Required = false` to disable the code and rely only on job whitelisting.
* `Code` must be exactly **4 numerical digits**.

#### Gate Behaviour

```lua
Config.Gate = { -- Main gate
    ActivationDistance = 2.0,
    TimeOpen = 10000,     -- in milliseconds
    SwingSpeed = 0.2
}

Config.SideGate = { -- Side gate
    TimeOpen = 10000,
    SwingSpeed = 0.2
}
```

Defaults are balanced — change only if needed.

#### Sound Configuration

```lua
Config.Sounds = {
    Volume = 0.5,
    Radius = 50.0
}
```

#### Targeting Configuration (optional)

```lua
Config.Targetting = {
    Enabled = false,
    TargetSystem = "ox_target"   -- "qb-target" or "ox_target"
}
```

If `Enabled = true`, interaction uses your targeting system instead of the E key prompt.

***

After editing `config.lua`, save it and reload the resource in console:

```
restart LGMods_Sandy_UK
```
